Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 42196, that Peter Flek, or Fleck, was born July 15, 1755.
He enlisted at Spring House Tavern, eighteen miles above Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 8 or 15, 1776, served as a private in Captain Thomas Craig's Company, Colonels Arthur St. Clair's and Anthony Wayne's Pennsylvania Regiments, was in the battle of Three Rivers and was discharged in March or April, 1777. He also served later in 1777 and was in the battle of Brandywine and a skirmish at Schuylkill, length of service and names of officers not stated.
Soldier stated that he received a wound in the Revolutionary War, nature of said wound or time when it was incurred not given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 13, 1818, while a resident of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.
In 1820, soldier referred to his wife, Christina, as sixty-four years of age. In 1827, he resided in Center County, Pennsylvania, having moved there about 1823. from Huntingdon Co. Pa
One Abraham Fleck made affidavit in Center County in 1827, relationship to soldier not shown.

What was the cause of his being stricken off the list? and when did the payment of his pension cease?
In conformity with the act of the 1 st March 1813 his name was again restored to the Roll on the 7 th March 1827, his allowance to commence on the 30 th Jany 1827 -
Why was his allowance for the intermediate time withheld from him?

I am well acquainted with Peter Flick the applicant for a pension. I have had several conversations with him during the last summer in relation to his application - from which I am satisfied the items stated in his first schedule have been applied to the payment of his debts and the support of his family. That a portion of the money being applied from time to time in the purchase of small articles for family use, it is impossible for him to make the required  money proof.
I am well acquainted with Adams and Hunter who hold his property. I have full confidence in their acts, they are highly respectable men - Both Brock Adams and Johnston are to my knowledge trustees of the place I am presently acquainted with them -
I can with great confidence state to you that Flick is poor, old and incapable of now performing labour -
